Election Day - and the _Indy_'s backing for the Greens!

I'm campaigning all over Wensum and University wards today, getting out the Green vote...Meanwhile:The _Independent_ newspaper has given Siân her strongest endorsement yet. After backing from the Federation of Small Businesses and The Observer, the Indy says:

"Siân Berry, for the Greens, has been an articulate, imaginative and effective advocate for her cause. With her programme for a greener London, with more cycle-lanes, cheaper public transport, more small shops and eco-friendly housing, she has come across as a forward-looking politician, committed to a better quality of London life. We hope she can continue to find a voice in the national debate.

"So consonant are her priorities with those of this paper that, if we could vote for mayor today, we would place our first-preference cross against her name."
